    <p>On the Gateway login page and in the Home user landing page upon login, you will see announcements from your system administrator displayed as the "Message of the Day" (MOTD). The MOTD is typically used for system-wide announcements to inform users about upcoming events or important information.  </p>
<p>System administrators access the MOTD functions using the Announcements tool in the Administration Workspace. </p>
